Event Description

The global game market is anticipated to generate $70.4B USD in 2013 thanks to 1.23B players. The 192M players in North America will contribute $22.8B with $19.5M coming from the 446M players across AMEA. San Francisco is the epi-center of this economic juggernaut. One may ask, “if all of these games are ‘free to play”, where does all of this money come from?”

Our panel of top gaming leaders will walk through the evolution of this rapidly changing industry, explain the moving parts of this engine to bring to light the significance of this industry and the impact it has had on the local economy.
